[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you use monkfruit sweetener which has 0 calories? That's what DH (who is following a keto diet) uses to sweeten things. [/quote]

It is awful. Do not do that. How sad for a party.

I would probably do some berries with lightly sweetened whipped cream. Or maybe an angel food cake with berries. [/quote]

Monk fruit is great.  Low glycemic index.  [/quote]

It tastes disgusting. [/quote]
Agreed, it’s got an awful aftertaste. [/quote]

I am somewhat of a super taster. I wouldn't go to that party b.c all sugar substitions have bad aftertastes: Stevia, splenda,, monk fruit, aspartame saccharine all taste terrible.

And Splenda gives me diarrhea.

And the sugar alcohols...they are worse. Xylitol, Mannitol etc give me terrible diarrhea within 30 minutes of eating them. I'm not the only one. Read through the Amazon reviews of Haribo Sugarfree Gummie Bears.

So no- I'm not going to a party which will taste terrible and clean me out like a colonoscopy prep. Tho the dark chocolate dipped strawberries sounded good if real sugar was used.[/quote]
I don’t have the same problem with sugar alcohols (unless I overdo it) but they do taste not good. Can some people truly not taste the sort of sour/bitter taste? Monk fruit probably has the taste closest to sugar, but it’s still sour.

I’m curious about this party. I can get bringing a low carb/reduced sugar or whatever treat to a diabetic’s birthday or having one at a party for the same, but why would someone have an entire party of not very good tasting desserts? It’s like a vegan bakery: what’s the point? [/quote]
